AVON Big False Lash mascara!

Hi lovelies! I recently got collaboration with AVON company and their first gift to me was their Big False Lash mascara. I'm getting many compliments about my lashes, so I decided to share with you my opinion about it. The exclusively designed brush follows the natural curve of your eye to get to the root of your lash line. Lasts all day. It's sweat- and waterproof, and also hypoallergenic.

Zdravo dragi moji! Nedavno sam ostvarila saradnju sa AVON kompanijom i njihov prvi poklon meni je bila Big False Lash maskara. U zadnje vrijeme dobijam mnogo komplimenata kada su u pitanju moje trepavice, pa sam odlucila podijeliti sa vama svoje iskustvo! Ekskluzivno dizajnirana cetkica maskare prati prirodni oblik oka kako bi dosla do korijena trepavica. Traje cijeli dan, vodootporna je i hipoalergenska!

Hair products I use on a daily basic

Hello!
So, this time I'm going to write about my hair products. You must know that not everything is good for everyone and these might not suit you, but I've been using them for years now and I'm pretty satisfied.

Zdravo!
Ovog puta ću govoriti o proizvodima koje koristim za kosu. Prije svega, treba da znate da ne odgovara sve svima i da ovo što ja koristim možda vama neće odgovarati, ali ja to koristim već godinama i prilično sam zadovoljna.

I'm using only SYOSS products when it comes to my hair. I was searching for suitable hair products very long and these are best ones I found till now. As you can see, I use KERATIN Hair Perfection and I think this is something that should be good to everyone. If you want to check out Syoss products and find ones for your hair type, you can do it here.

Ja koristim samo SYOSS proizvode kad se raddi o mojoj kosi. Dugo sam tražila odgovarajuće proizvode i ovo su najbolji koje sam našla do sada. Kao što možete vidjeti, koristim KERATIN Hair Perfection  i mislim da je ovo nešto univerzalno i nešto što bi trebalo odgovarati svima. Ako želite pogledati Syoss proizvode i naći one koji vama odgovaraju, možete to uraditi ovdje.

 This is what I use for oil treating hair. I use it only on the ends of my hair and I'm very happy with it.
Ovo je ono što koristim kad je riječ o uljnom tretmanu kose, koristim ga samo na vrhovima i veoma sam zadovoljna.

I was using SYOSS Heat-protecting Styling Spray (here) to protect my hair from heat for very long and I was obsessed with it, but I sudendly couldn't buy it here in Bosnia (it's not available here anymore). So, I had to find new heat protector and I did. It's BALEA Trend It Up Heat-protecting Hair Spray. I think the  SYOSS Heat-protecting Spray is better, but this one isn't that bad either.

Dugo sam koristila SYOSS Heat-protecting Styling Spray (ovdje) da zaštitim kosu i bila sam opsjednuta njime, ali ga odjenom ovdje u BiH više nisam mogla kupiti. Pa sam morala naći novi spray za zaštitu i jesam. Sad koristim BALEA Trend It Up Heat-protecting Hair Spray. Mislim da je SYOSS-ov puno bolji, ali ni ovaj nije loš.

That's all, thanks for reading!
To bi bilo sve, hvala na čitanju!

Azure blue

Hello!!

I promised a post about my hair, coloring my hair and products about it. So these two posts are going to be about that. I usually never dye my hair but i had this crazy period when I wanted to have something different and I decided to dye my hair azure blue! I did only two highlights and in the back of my hair so I could hide it and show it when I want. Although when I did it once, I fell in love with them and I've done this couple times. I hope you'll like it. xo

Obecala sam post o svojoj kosi, farbanju kose i proizvodima koje koristim. Pa ce ovaj i iduci post biti o tome. Inace nikad ne farbam kosu, ali sam imala jedan ludi period kada sam htjela uraditi nesto drugacije, pa sam uradila dva pramena plave boje! Uradila sam samo dva, i to na dnu kose kako bih to mogla sakriti i pokazati kada zelim. Kad sam ih prvi put uradila, zaljubila sam se u njih i uradila sam ih vise puta. Nadam se da ce vam se svidjeti. Lijep pozdrav!

Rapunzel - How do I keep my hair long and healthy

Let's talk about my haaaaair! I'm obsessed with long hair, and I managed to grow mine long enough to sit on it, and most importantly, it doesn't have split ends... at least not many of them. How is that possible? Let me tell you.

Sad ćemo pričati o mojoj kosiii. Opsjednuta sam dugom kosom, i sada mi je toliko duga da mogu sjesti na nju, i što je najvažnije, nema ispucalih krajeva... bar ne mnogo. Kako je to moguće? Otkrit ću vam svoju tajnu.


First of all, you have to undestand that growing long healthy hair is not something that happens overnight. There is no magic product which can make your hair grow faster. Unfortunatelly, that's a big lie, so you shouldn't waste your money on that. I have few pictures of my hair and how it looks now. But I will put anything I can find!

Prije svega, morate razumjeti da je rast kose nešto što se ne događa preko noći. Ne postoji magični proizod koji ubrzava rast kose. Nažalost, to je jedna velika laž, pa ne bacajte novac na takve stvari. Imam malo slika svoje kose (pogotovo kako izgleda sada), ali ću postaviti sve što budem našla.

Let's start with these. These photos were taken a year ago (maybe more), my hair was reaching half of my back. Many of you will find this long enough, but it wasn't long enough to me... Year ago, I was using tons of products ( very expensive ones) on my hair, and what I noticed is that my hair isn't getting any longer. Why? Because using many products on your hair causes getting your hair out of it's natural balance. We live in a time when everything is full of chemicals. And trust me, that's not good for your hair.

Počet ćemo sa ovima. Ovo su slike od prošle godine (možda ima i više), kosa mi je bila do pola leđa. Mnogi će od vas reći da je to sasvim dovoljna dužina, ali ne i za mene. U to vrijeme sam koristila mnogo proizvoda ( i to veoma skupih), ali nisam primijećivala da mi kosa brže raste. Zašto? Korištenjem puno proizvoda poremetite prirodni balans vaše kose. Živimo u vremenu kada je sve puno hemikalija, a vjerujte mi, mnogo hemikalija nije dobro za kosu.

This is my hair now. It reached my hips, yaaaay! Although the picture is terrible, you can see how long it is.
Ovo je moja kosa sada. Dosegla mi je kukove! Iako je slika užasna, bar se vidi koliko je duga.

How to do that? Easy:

1. Stop using heat on your hair! If you want curly hair, there is plenty ways to curl it heatless (watch tutorials on YouTube). You can iron your hair only in special ocasions. No, first day of school or going to school is not a special ocasion. The thing is, you are getting addicted to it, you're getting your hair used to that ( maybe this sounds silly, but it's true), and worse you're damaging it. You should avoid blow-drying hair, too.

2. Get a trim every month! It might sound impossible to grow hair and get a trim in the same time, but it's not. I'm not saying you should cut off 5 cm. 1 cm is enough, depending how demaged your hair is. This way you are growing it, but getting rid of new split ends.

3. Don't use many products. I already explained this one. Just find what suits you best, and use that only.

4. Don't wash your hair every day. My hair is usually greasy beacause I touch it and play with it a lot,  so I know how annoying that can be. With my hair this long, it became a hell drying it, it takes very long time and I'm not willing to give an hour every day just to dry my hair. Try to wash it at least every second day. Blow-drying your hair often damages it and causes split ends. If your hair is too greasy, put it in a cute ponytail or a bun. Washing it often also dries out your scalp and causes dandruff.

5. Don't brush your hair when it's wet. This is very important. When it's wet, hair is very sensitive, and brushing it causes maaany split ends.

6. Brush your hair gently. Comb it from ends to top. Start detangling it from the bottom and work your way up. The best thing to use while brushing is widethooth comb.

7. Put shampoo only on the roots, and conditioner on ends. Shampoo is created to remove grease from hair. Do you have grese on your ends? Unlikely. So, don't dry them out. On the other hand, conditioner does the oposite. No one wants to have more grease on roots.

8. Find out what your hair type is and use right products. Not everything is good for everyone.

9. Wash your hair  gently and never pick it up while washing.

10. Use oil. If your hair is greasy at roots, doesn't mean your ends are. Put oil on dry hair and wrap it in the towl 30 min (or longer if you want) before washing.


Those were my tips, I hope I helped you. In the next post I'll show products I use.
Hugs and kisses!

Quick look at my makeup case! - Šta se nalazi u mojoj makeup torbici?

 

Hello! I decided what should my new post be, and here we are.

I'm going to start with my makeup case. This one (in the picture) is from Oriflame and I looove it. Only thing that bothers me is the size of it. I'ts too small. I have to put my makeup in three different cases, but it is handy when you want to bring your makeup with you on a trip.

Zdravo! Odlučila sam šta će mi biti novi post, i evo nas.

Počet ću sa makeup torbicom. Ova (sa slike) je iz Oriflame-a i obožaaavam je. Jedino što mi smeta u vezi nje je što je mala. Moram šminku staviti u tri torbice, ali je super kad morate najosnovniju šminku ponijeti negdje sa sobom.

1. Foundation - Osnova

Well, couple months ago, my dad bought me Chanel makeup package and I know it's expensive and everyone is happy with it. I'm not very satistfied because it doesn't last long enough.

 

Prije nekoliko mjeseci, tata mi je poklonio paket sa Chanel šminkom. Znam da je jako skupa i da je svi hvale, ali ja nisam zadovoljna sa time koliko traje. A i koža izgleda kao porculan.

The one I would recommend to all of you is Bourjois foundation radiance reveal healthy mix. I've been using it for a year now and it's amazing! It's not closing your pores and it's barely visible on skin. 

  

 Ono što bih svima preporučila je Bourjois foundation radiance reveal healthy mix. Koristim ga već godinu dana i savršen je! Ne zatvara pore i jedva je vidljiv na koži.

 2. Concealers - Korektori

The one I'm pretty much happy with is Max Factor's Pan Stick. It's handy and long lasting.

Onaj sa kojim sam prilično zadovoljna je Max Factor-ov Pan Stick. Jednostavan je za korištenje i dugotrajan.

Even though I love this Pan Stick, I prefere Max Factor Mastertouch Concealer. It's liquid, so it's easier to blend.

 Iako volim korektore u sticku, preferiram tečne. I favorit je Max Factor Mastertouch Concealer. S obzirom da je tečan, lakše ga je ublendirati.

3. Bronzer and blush - Bronzer i rumenilo

Oriflame again! Well, I absolutelly love their Giordani Gold Bronzing Pearls. And they come with a brush!

 Oriflame ponovo! Naprosto volim njihove Giordani Gold Bronzing kuglice. A dođu sa četkom!

The only thing I like from the package is Chanel Pink Explosion Blush. I recommend it to everyone.

Jedina stvar koja mi se svidjela iz cijelog paketa je Chanel Pink Explosion rumenilo. Preporučujem ga svima.

 4. Mascara

Usually, I find it very difficult to find mascara I like. I have couple of them in my makeup collection, and I can't mark off one that's very good. I use them alternately, so I don't have mascara I stick to. These are kinda decent.

 Inače mi je jako teško naći maskaru koja mi odgovara. Imam ih nekoliko i ne mogu izdvojiti nijednu koja je jako dobra. Koristim ih naizmjenično, tako da nemam onu koju jedino koristim. Ove su onako prosječne.

5. Eyeshadows - Sjenila

I use eyeshadows very rarely, so I only have those that came in the package.
 Chanel Ombre Perlees Eyeshadow Palette

 Sjene skoro nikad ne koristim, tako da imam samo one što su došle u paketu.

 6. Lipsticks

I'M OBSESSED WITH LIPSTICKS! I have many of them, so I'll bring up only my favorites.

OPSJEDNUTA SAM KARMINIMA! Imam ih mali milion, i zato ću navesti samo najdraže.

 Rimmel Kate Matte Lipstick Kiss Of Life

Rimmel Kate 105 Lipstick

Rimmel Tower Of Mauve

Oriflame Ravishing Rose Lipstick

Oriflame Beauty Wonder Balm

Chanel Red Lipstick Dark Skin

7. Eyebrow Kit - Sjena za obrve

I usually don't thick my eyebrows because I don't have to, but when I need to fix something, I use Oriflame Eyebrows Kit. It's very easy to use, and for those that don't know how to, it comes with instructions.

Ja inače ne podebljavam obrve jer ne moram, ali kad trebam nešto popraviti, koristim Oriflame Eyebrows Set. Jednostavno ga je koristiti i za one koji ne znaju kako, dolazi sa uputstvom.

That would be all, thanks for reading! :)

To bi bilo sve, hvala na čitanju. :) 

Most common makeup mistakes / Najčešće makeup greške

HELLO!


If you saw post title and thought: "Not again! Everyone knows how to put makeup properly", I assure you, that's not true.
Well, for many of us, makeup counter is heaven. There are so many different types of beauty products, so many different brands and so many beauty tools. We just can't buy enough! Since Youtube became popular, many girls posted video tutorials to help others avoiding these cosmetic crimes. Anyway, check my list to make sure you aren't committing any of them.

Ako ste vidjeli naslov posta i pomislili: "Ne opet! Svi znamo koristiti šminku", uvjeravam vas da to nije istina.
Za mnoge od nas, stalci sa šminkom su raj. Postoji toliko različitih tipova kozmetičkih proizvoda i brendova. Jednostavno ne možemo kupiti dovoljno! Otkako je Youtube postao popularan, mnoge djevojke širom svijeta su snimile video tutoriale kako bi pomogle  drugima izbjeći ove kozmetičke zločine. U svakom slučaju, pogledajte moju listu i uvjerite se da ne činite nijedan od njih

1. Foundation

There is no more obvious makeup mistake that the wrong foundation color. If your face is in one color, and your neck in other, you're using completely wrong foundation. And if your foundation is visible, chances are you are using wrong color or applying way too much. Why is this mistake very common? Because many woman test foundation on their hands, which are usually a shade or two darker than their faces. Foundation should be tested on your jawline or your neck, and it should disapper into your skin. If you have to blend it, it's not the right one.

Ne postoji ocglednija greska od pogresne boje pudera. Ako vam je lice jedne boje, a vrat druge, koristite potpuno pogresan puder. A ako je puder vidljiv, postoji sansa da stavljate pogresnu nijansu ili nanosite previse. Ova greska je jako cesta zato sto vecina zena pri kupovanju proizvoda, testira puder na ruci, koja je u vecini slucajeva za nijansu ili dvije tamnija od lica. Puder se treba testirati na rubu lica ili vratu, tako da bi se trebala stopiti sa tenom. Ako je morate ublendirati, onda to nije to. 

2. Overlining lips - Prectavanje usana

90 % of girls want bigger and fuller lips. But sometimes they push it over the boundaries. Frankly, I think overlining lips is unnatural and unnecessery, but if you're into that, make sure you do it the right way! First mistake is overlining entire lips! It looks very gross. Second one is using lip gloss over lipstick. Although most of makeup artists do this, it's not right. If you overlined your upper lip, and applied lip gloss, lip gloss is going to make a shadow on your real lip line and it's going to look like that. 

So, best way to overline your lips is to use matte lipstick and matte lip gloss. You can watch awesome tutorial right here.

 90% djevojaka zeli vece i punije usne i nekad jednostavno prekorace sve granice. Iskreno, mislim da je precrtavanje usana neprirodno i nepotrebno, ali ako je to ono sto vas zanima, onda se potrudite da to radite na pravi nacin! Prva greska koju djevojke cine je precrtavanje cijele usne, tako usne izgledaju kao dvije banane, a to je uzasno! Druga je koristenje sjaja za usne poslije karmina. Iako to rade mnogi makeup artisti, ne znaci da je ispravno. Ako ste precrtali gornju usnu i nanijeli sjaj, sjaj ce stvoriti sjenu na svjetlu i vidjet ce se vas pravi rub usne. Najbolji nacin za precrtavanje usana je da se to radi sa mat karminom i mat sjajom. Pogledajte kako ovdje.

3. Eyebrows - Obrve

2014 was the year of eyebrows, and everyone was talking about them and making them perfect. So, of course there are many problems.
Matching your brow color to your hair is problem no. 1, since Instagram is full of brunettes with black eyebrows. Whether it's dye or a brow pencil, picking a shade of brown with a slight that goes with your hair color is usually your best bet. Blondies can go to few shades darker than their hair, that will look more natural. Problem no. 2 is ignoring your natural arch. Please don't do this! Eyebrows are different from person to person, and everyone should follow their natural arch. Just because it's not 45 degree angle arch, doesn't mean there's no arch at all. There are many tutorials for how to bring back your arch if you alredy messed up, so don't worry!

2014. je bila godina obrva i svi su govorili o njima, kao i o tome kakve savrsene obrve trebaju izgledati. Tako da naravno da postoje mnogi problemi sa kojima se zene susrecu. 
S obzirom da je Instagram pun brinete sa potpuno crnim obrvama, prvi problem je prilagodjavanje boje obrva boji kose. Bez obzira da li se radi o sjeni ili olovci, uzimanje smedje sjene sa malo sjene koja ide uz vasi boju kose je sigurni pogodak. Plavuse mogu imati par nijansi tamnije obrve, zato sto vecina prirodnih plavusa ima takvu, pa izgleda prirodnije. Drugi problem je ignorisanje vaseg prirodnog luka. Molim vas nemojte to raditi! Obrve su drugacije kod svakog i svi bi trebali slijediti prirodni luk. Samo zato sto to nije luk od 45 strpeni, ne znaci da ga nema nikako. Postoje mnogi tutoriali o tome kako vratiti prirodni luk, ako ste vec zabrljali, tako da se ne brinite !

4. Clumpy mascara - Maskara sa grudvicama

Mascara is intended to thicken and lengthen the eyelashes, drawing attention to the eyes to make them look bigger and more dramatic. Mascara comes in many brands and forms -- waterproof, smudgeproof, colored, clear, plumping, lengthening, and on and on. When applied properly, mascara gives you a sexy, long-lashed look. But when applied improperly, it just makes you look like a smudged-up mess.
The most common mistake is applying clumpy mascara. This happens when you put on too much, or your mascara is too old. Try using an eyelash comb to separate the lashes and get rid of the excess. And replace old mascara; it's only meant to last three to four months. Another problem is wearing a mascara color too dark or too extreme for your coloring. Your mascara should be two or three shades darker than your eyebrow color, and no more.

Maskara je napravljena da bi produzila i podebljala trepavice, kako bi privukla pozornost ocima i napravila da izgledaju vece i dramaticnije. Maskara dolazi u mnogim bendovima i formama-vodootporna, bezgrudvica, u boji, itd. Ali, kad se pogresno nanese, nacini da izgledate kao zgrudvani nered. Najcesca greska je nanosenje maskare sa grudvicama. To se desava jer ste nanijeli previse maskare ili jer koristite staru maskaru. Pokusajte koristiti cesalj za trepavice kako biste ih razdvojili ili kupite novu maskaru! Maskara je napravljena da traje 
4 mjeseca. Jos jedna cesta pogreska je nanosenje pretamne maskare u 
odnosu na vas ten i boju obrva i kose. Maskara treba biti samo dvije-tri 
nijanse tamnija, ne vise!

 5. Over-application of Blush - Previše rumenila

Too much of anything is overwhelming. This includes your blush.
Follow these tips (along with our blending advice) to make your blush look as flattering as possible:
- If you want the flushed look, smile and apply the blush to the apples of your cheeks.
- If you want a more structured look, follow your cheekbones and then blend the blush upward to avoid creating stripes. The thing with blush is that you can always add more.
- But if you've been a little overzealous in the application, try adding a little loose powder over the cheek to tone it down. Or gently wipe it away with a tissue. If it's a cream blush, try gently removing the excess with a clean makeup sponge.

Previse bilo cega je uzasno. To ukljucuje i vase rumenilo. 

Pratite ove korake ( zajedno sa savjetom za blendiranje), kako bi rumenilo izgledalo savrseno na vama. 

- Ako zelite blagi rumeni trag, nasmijte se i nanesite rumenilo na jagodice. 

- Ako zelite vise definiran izgled pratite liniju ispod jagodica i blendirajte prema gore da izbjegnete moguce stvaranje linija. 

- Ako ste pretjerali sa rumenilom, nanesite malo pudera u prahu preko kako biste to ublazili. 

Mozete i njezno obrisati maramicom, a ako je krem 

rumenilo, mozete ukloniti njeznim pritiskanjem 

cistom spuzvom.

My first post / Moj prvi post

Hello, well I wanted to say "everyone", then I realised I have no followers (lol).
Well, I hope that will change soon.
I've decided to start a blog, because I think it's funy and interesting. But, it's not easy as it looks like. It took me an eternity to edit the blog. And it still doesn't look like I wanted, but I'll get there one day. :/
Anyway, I think you will enjoy my posts, and visit my blog very often. I'm planning to publish fashion, beauty, lifestyle and all kinds of different post tipes. But I will post fashion and beauty ones in general.

Till the next post, with lots of love,

Iman.

Zdravoo, htjela sam reci "svima", a onda sam se sjetila da me niko ne prati haha.
Nadam se da ce se to uskoro promijeniti.
Odlucila sam pokrenuti blog, zato sto mislim da je to nesto vrlo interesantno. Ali, nije jednostavno kao sto izgleda. Trebala mi je vjecnost da uredim sve, a blog opet ne izgleda onako kako sam planirala. Ali hajde, doci cu jednom i do toga.
U svakom slucaju, mislim da cete uzivati u mom blogu i posjecivati ga cesto. Planiram objavljivati fashion, beauty, lifestyle i razne druge tipove postova, ali cu se bazirati na prva dva.

Do sljedeceg posta, sa mnogo ljubavi,

Iman.
